Abstract: Purpose - This paper sets out to explore the trends of social responsibility of the corporate sector in India. Design/methodology/approach - The methodology being followed in the paper is exploratory in nature as data are scanty. An analysis has been done on an overall score drawn from a structured questionnaire being administered. Findings - Trends in socially responsible initiatives are both positive and crucial in nature in India. Research limitations/implications - The vastness of the corporate activities in a big country like India, on the one hand, and the scanty data availability, on the other, lead to issues being restricted in some sectors. Practical implications - This research has a tremendous effect on society with respect to the CSR approach being conceived, adopted and initiated by UN Global Compact. Originality/value - The paper has touched on the cutting‐edge research initiatives in the field of CSR.
